As mentioned in my initial post I am able to play on Directx9 However because it is no longer supported the performance is significantly diminished and I am having lag issues both in game and in raids that I do not experience at all when the game was performing beautifully in Directx11. There is no option for Directx12 in the Config button menu not sure if that was a typo as it's just a slider between Directx9 and 11. Weirdly enough yesterday right after downloading the new patch, I was able to login on directx11 and thought my issue might have been resolved. But for some reason when I tried to login today I am back to the black screen and then unresponsive crashing with no error message.

I also tried a clean boot disabling everything to no avail. I did a windows reset in between my own troubleshooting and when I redownloaded the game I did so on an alternative drive. I also am not on steam so the last two do not apply. Is there any other suggestions you can provide because I really would like to be able to play on Directx11 again and not suffer the performance issues that come with Directx9
